#upanishadas

i have never seriously delved into spiritual texts, but in two days I just read the first three parts of chandogya upanishad 1, matthew 4-7 (the sermon on the mount) AND corinthians 12-14 and my mind is so blown right now.

[[background: i was raised catholic but never seriously - didn’t have strong ties to the practice & beliefs much. my boyfriend is hindu and we live together in india, so i am greatly connected to hinduism & vedanta philosophy through him]]

it’s everything i’ve learned and believed in outside of organized religion, (via new age spirituality & witchcraft mainly) reflected back at me from right within these ancient texts. everything i have already set down in my own foundation of beliefs are right here infront of me, spelling out what i have already discovered. It’s like pouring concrete into the mold I have spent so long building. it’s like pouring water on the seeds that have spent so long germinating.
